Installation and controls
FIGURE 2
SPACER
CONDENSER
The appliance is designed to work in room
temperatures between +16°C and +32°C. Do not
allow the room temperature to exceed +32°C
otherwise the temperature inside the fridge will rise.
Fit the spacers onto the condenser tubes (Figure 2)
and put the cleaning tip in the drainage hole at the
back of the fridge compartment.
Page 4
The fridge requires space around the casing for
efficient cooling and operation.The minimum
clearances are shown in Figure 3.
The refirgerator must be installed on a firm flat and
level surface for it to work quietly and efficiently.
Switching on
Plug the appliance into a nearby power socket and
switch on. The thermostat control (Figure 4) is
positioned inside the fridge by the light.Turn the
control to a half-way position on the dial and leave
the appliance running with the door closed for
approximately 2 hours.This will allow the inside
temperature to stabilise.

Temperature control
The temperature of the fridge is best maintained
around 0°C to + 5°C. Avoid setting the thermostat
too high otherwise this may reduce the temperature
to a point at which certain fresh foods may begin to
freeze. The temperature scale runs from 1, the
warmest setting, to 5, the coldest.The 0 position is
an OFF setting which can be used when the
refrigerator is standing empty.The fridge has an
automatic defrost cycle. Droplets of condensation
or ice particles on the back wall of the fridge are
normal.
When storing food in the fridge keep food away
from the rear wall.To allow free circulation of cold
air don’t pack food too tightly on the shelves and
never put hot food in the fridge.
Notes on operation
During normal operation the following noises may
be heard:
O Stifled murmur from compressor when it is
working.
O Soft gurgling from the refrigerant flowing
through the cooling system.
O Click from the thermostat switching on and off.
TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
Finally, unclip the drip tray from above the
compressor motor (rear of the casing, Figure 6),
wash it out and clip it back into position.
Lamp replacement
Remove the lamp cover by removing one Philips
headed screw at the far end of the lamp housing,
furthest from the door (Figure 7). Slide the diffuser
out of its groove. Unscrew the lamp and replace it
with one of the same type, (15 Watts SES E14).
Replace the cover and secure it with its screw.

General cleaning
It is recommended to clean and wipe out the fridge
regularly or after any spillage inside or outside the
appliance.
Use a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda diluted in
a pint of warm water.Wipe the internal surfaces
and shelving to remove food residues. Leave to dry
before reloading food.
The fridge automatically defrosts by freezing and
defrosting. Beware of the back wall as this may be
cold to the touch. Avoid wiping this until it has
thoroughly defrosted.
Wipe the outside casing from time to time in order
to remove dirt and dust from ventilation vents etc.
Keep water away from the thermostat housing.
Clean the door seals.
Remove accumulated dirt from around the
compressor motor taking care not to damage the
pipes and the wiring.
Drainage channel and drip tray
Water collects in the drainage channel on the back
wall. It then passes to a drip tray positioned above
the compressor from which it evaporates. The drain
and drip tray should be cleaned regularly to avoid
the build up of impurities.Wipe the channel with a
damp cloth and use the cleaning tip to clean out
any residue from the drainage hole.

Troubleshooting
Fuse and mains plug replacement
This product is supplied with a moulded plug
which contains a 13A fuse. If you are simply
replacing the fuse, you must use a 13A fuse which
has been approved by ASTA to BS1362 (Figure 8).
If the plug does not fit the socket or becomes
damaged, a new plug must be fitted. Replace the
original plug with the correct plug for your socket. If
this is a 3-pin (square pin) 13A (BS1363) plug, you
must make sure that it is fitted with an ASTA
approved 13A fuse.
If another type of plug is used, it must be protected
by a 15A fuse, either in the plug or at the
distribution board.
1. Cut off the existing fitted plug.
2. The wires in the mains lead supplied with this
appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code (Figure 9):
GREEN/YELLOW = EARTH (E)
BLUE = NEUTRAL (N) BROWN = LIVE (L)
This product must be earthed
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your new plug, proceed as follows.
The wire which is coloured GREEN or
YELLOW/GREEN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter E or E
symbol or coloured GREEN or YELLOW/GREEN.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured RED.
3. Ensure that the connections are tight and that no
loose strands are left out of the terminals.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
If the mains lead becomes damaged consult a
qualified electrician.
